The role of mitochondria in modifying the cellular ionic environment. Calcium-induced respiratory activities in mitochondria isolated from various tumour cells
pCyclic stimulation by Casup2+/supof respiration in mitochondria isolated from Ehrlich ascites-tumour cells occurs only when low phosphate concentrations (approx. 0.5mm) are also included in the incubation system. Under these circumstances the extra oxygen consumed is related stoicheiometrically to the amount of Casup2+/suptaken up by the mitochondria; the values are similar to those obtained with mitochondria from rat liver in the absence of added phosphate. In contrast with liver mitochondria, up to 280nmol of Casup2+/sup/mg of protein can be added to ascites mitochondria without causing any deleterious effect. Respiration in mitochondria isolated from the Yoshida ascites hepatoma (HA 130) and from the Morris hepatomas 5123C and 9618A is also stimulated by Casup2+/supin a cyclic manner. However, that in mitochondria from regenerating rat liver responds to Casup2+/supin the same way as those from normal rat liver. ADP-stimulated respiration in mitochondria from Ehrlich ascites tumour cells, but not from rat liver, is inhibited by low amounts of Casup2+/sup./p
